Banking on beating Queens Park Rangers being sufficient for safety looks a
risky gamble but that is the bet that Newcastle United have made and it will
not be one for the faint-hearted.

Having to get a result away from home must hold more fears for them than for
any other team. They have won once in the league on their travels this
season and it seems unlikely that their relegated opponents will roll over
in their final home match, on the evidence of their narrow defeat by Arsenal
on Saturday.
